3:01 am
heard the president a couple of times say hey, we need a doctor because five people actually passed out. they had been waiting a long time. it was 80 degrees. he blamed out lights. ainsley: he said these lights are so bright. someone turn them off. brian: other day complaining about the stage. who set the stage up? ainsley: i almost slipped and fell. don't pate bill. he said whoever set this up don't pate bill. i almost slipped on the stage. steve: today out in that area of pennsylvania they are having a special election to fill a vacant congressional seat. the president officially was there to campaign for state representative fred keller. but, really, come on it's about pennsylvania and the president because the president needs pennsylvania in 2020. ainsley: that is joe biden territory he claims it's his territory because he was born in scranton but then he moved away. steve: at age 10. the president talked about that. listen. >> biden deserted you.
3:02 am
he is not from pennsylvania. i guess he was born here but he left you, folks. he left you for another state. this guy talks about i know scranton. well i note places better. he left you for another state and he didn't take care of you because he didn't take care of your jobs. the unemployment rate in pennsylvania has just reached an all-time historic low. in pennsylvania we have added 155,000 new jobs including 20,000 new construction jobs. noble thought that was possible. when you have the best economy probably that we have ever had i don't know how the hell do you lose this election, right? [cheers] [. >> do we want keep america great or make america great again? [cheers] so now we go, ready? keep america great. [cheers] >> i like it because we will
3:03 am
is he many, many hats that way. we will keep the hats the same color though, right? brian: i love that he is changing it. keep america great was overwhelmingly accepted by the crowd in pennsylvania. and in a few weeks the president is going to officially launch his almost from day one. steve: maga just has a ring to it whereas kag or maga. brian: you need something to change, keep america great or make. make.ains keep america great. steve: keep america great always. brian: that's not bad either. ainsley: he did say he wanted five terms because he has lost the last two years of his presidency with the mueller investigation. brian: is he trailing joe biden in three states. wisconsin, pennsylvania and michigan. he wants to close the gap. the quinnipiac poll had him
3:04 am
trailing joe biden by 11 points. is he doing great commentary on this as if he is doing color comin tear on the democrats whether it's mayor pete, elizabeth warren ready to go. sleepy joe biden is in the lead. bernie sanders has blown it. he is talking that way. he knows he has to win these three states and perhaps biden presents the greatest challenge. although he has not legitimately been challenged by 22 other people who want that nomination. steve: the president did in that sound bite montage we played for you a moment ago. how do you lose it you? look at historic unemployment, said. when you look at the state of pennsylvania in january of 2017, when he took office unemployment rate was officially 5 continue to 2%. fast forward to the latest number 3.8. in other words, it was already a low number but it dropped another 1.4%. ainsley: he talked about bringing manufacturing jobs back. you remember paul krugman and others said and president obama that will never happen.
3:05 am
the manufacturing jobs are gone. he went through some of those numbers and talked about how he helped the auto industry and brought jobs back to america. president obama running against mitt roadside bomb. president obama got 52.8. mitt romly 46.6. brian: romney lost by 5 points. the president wins it by 1 percentage point. pennsylvania is that big lure every republican thinks they can win and they never do. the president said if i lose pennsylvania something has got to be wrong. turns out the 'was right. he goes in there. the other thing that i think is going to help the president, remember he put those tariffs on aluminum and steel. and retaliatory tariffs came from mexico and canada on various goods and now, in turn, we have released ours, our tariffs because we got the usmca virtually done. now it's got to be approved by congress and retaliatory
3:06 am
tariffs went ahead. that's going to help that state in particular. steve: meanwhile, karl rove has been watching how politically dynamic pennsylvania has been for decades. and he said it's really changed since the 1980s. he said this last night with martha. >> today, the coal mining and steel making region of the west is very pro-trump. and it's the formerly republican suburbs in bucks, montgomery, delaware and chester counties and southeast pennsylvania is where the democrats hope to rebuild their margin and take back. one group going from traditional heritage and going towards republicans and trump. others going away from traditional heritage and going towards democrats. ainsley: smart the president to remind those folks in pennsylvania what they're for. they are for high taxes. crime for open borders. late-term abortions. killing the second amendment and radical socialism. he called the socialists, he called them wackoes.
3:07 am
steve: crazy democrats, he said. brian: the president of the united states also is pro-energy. we know there is a lot of fracking going on in pennsylvania. we know that everyone outside of joe biden is really talking about switching to renewables and not go for the oil and gas industry. meanwhile, let's talk about something else that seems to be percolating underneath. that is investigating the investigators. and how the whole investigation into the donald trump campaign, which turns into the president-elect which turns into his presidency took place. and i'm astounded on a daily basis how many major players in this group seem to be turning on each other. yesterday, the ranking member of the house committee congressman collins released this information on loretta lynch wants behind closed door testimony and it seems, again, the loretta lynch, the former attorney general, contradicts james comey on the so-called let's call the hillary investigation a matter not an investigation. the problem with james comey's story he is not arguing with fox or donald trump. he is actually arguing with
3:08 am
the attorney general for barack obama who he clearly worships. steve: so let's start this and we are going to show you how it does appear either the attorney general or the fbi director, former both of them, somebody is -- they are not on the same page. here's james comey talking before the senate intel committee in 2017 and he is talking about why he decided to have that press conference in the summer of 2016 and one of the things that led to it was, of course, the tarmac meeting but also the conversation with the attorney general regarding was it an investigation of hillary clinton? or something else? and he dropped this bombshell then. >> the attorney general had directed me not to call it an investigation but, instead, to call it a matter, which confused me and concerned me that was one of the bricks in the load that i have to step away from the department if we are to close this case
3:09 am
credibly. ainsley: yesterday doug collins releases the transcript of his interview and when loretta lynch had to go in front of lawmakers and was testifying behind closed doors. he released the testimony that she said we never had that conversation. i didn't say that. this is what she said to the group. she said i didn't direct anyone to use specific phraseology. i said what i have been say something we have received a referral and we are working on the matter. working on the issue, or we have all the resources we need to handle the matter. handle the issue. >> i was quite surprised that was his characterization of it because that was not how it was conveyed to him. certainly not how i intended. brian: move the politics out of this 6'9" james comey and loretta lynch can't get together on something key behind the scenes, which prompted james comey to have that july press conference. and that is she thought that she didn't want the attorney general wasn't pursuing aggressive enough the fact that hillary clinton used a
3:10 am
private server and some of her emails might have been exposed affecting the national security and of course the sanctity of her candidacy somebody that irresponsible be the next president of the united states? this isn't politics. these are two people are are united on one thing. they don't think donald trump is united on being president. can't agree on something fund mental. can't agree james comey telling the truth. winlining up with loretta lynch instead of lining up with somebody on the trump team. steve: she went on to explain she only suggested to mr. comey the department of justice policy said that you know, we cannot confirm that we are at the investigation stage. so, you know, they did have a conversation. but it was not the way he described it in front of senate. ainsley: she said that conversation was in september of 2015. she said the way that it works within the doj is we have to investigate fully. steve: there was a referral she said. ainsley: we weren't sure if
3:11 am
this was an investigation. we were just looking into this matter. brian: i wonder if he went out and took notes and ran out and called up his friends to the "new york times." why didn't he run out and take notes on that then everything would have been solved. steve: we don't know why they have different stories. perhaps somebody is not telling the truth or they have different memories. here is deputy attorney general john yoo and his observation about the discrepancy. >> there is a lot of pages about is this a matter? who decided to essentially clear hillary clinton in those first press conferences? as you can tell as you are suggesting laura, neither comey or loretta lynch now wants to take responsibility for essentially clearing hillary clinton. but one of them did. they are both in charge. the fbi and the justice department they are in charge and they shouldn't, i don't think, ever gone public and cleared her in the first place. they went and took that momentous step and started this whole chain reaction of events that led us into the
3:12 am
investigation of trump. brian: didn't know peter strzok and lisa page having an affair and hated trump to the point they are texting back and forth. he didn't know about the emails of anthony arena's laptop put there by hillary clinton's chief of staff. andy mccabe says did i tell james comey. he said he never told me. he has a problem. if he is right all the time all these other people around him that are supposed on his side are wrong. not just people like donald trump who he despises but people on his side. sooner or later james comey is going to have to admit there are problems with his story, not everybody else's. steve: james comey and the former attorney general certainly not on the same page it. will be interesting to see how she explains that and i'm sure she will try. ainsley: is he throwing everyone under the bus. we'll see how he wants to explain this one. steve: 6:12 in new york city. jillian has headlines for us. jillian: members of congress will receive a classified briefing on iran. calling on the united states to address tehran and to
3:13 am
never threaten an iranian. this comes after president trump warned iran if he wants to fight, if it wants to fight, it will be the end of their country. former cia station chief believes the trump administration is taking the right approach. >> we have made a very clear move, which is deternsz. we have said to the iranians that if you launch any strikes against us, our pugh people, our installations and region and beyond, we are going to respond. jillian: iran reportedly claimed quadrupled production of enriched uranium. don mcgahn confirming he will skip a house judiciary hearing today. the former white house counsel was supposed to testify about the mueller problem. jerry nadler threatening him with contempt if he does that. >>ing we are expecting mr. mcgahn to show pursuant to the subpoena. >> democratic congressman

david calling for impeachment inquiry against president trump if mcgahn doesn't testify. and we have a lot of other stories we are following. more coming up in the next half hour. steve: all right. jillian. thank you. brian: good to see you so close. jillian: you too. brian: hundreds of migrant storms demanding end to deportations. is that our future? that story is next ♪ ♪ new tide pods with upgraded 4-in-1 technology unleash a foolproof clean in one step. aww, you did the laundry! it's got to be tide.

brian: hundreds of migrants storming the paris airport. some of the chants france does not belong to the french and we have a right to be here. yet they are there illegally. so why is this happening? and should americans care? here to weigh in is national security analyst robin simcox. robin, how did they get to this point and what the illegal immigrants want from the country of france? >> well, good morning, as the protests are about the right to stay in the country. there is a belief even though they came to the country illegally they are making demands that they stay and some of the groups helping organize the protests very much agree with them. so it's essentially a dispute around the notion of borders, sovereignty and whether france really has any right to decide who does and who doesn't live in the country. brian: they are not only a melting pot they don't even like the pot. they want the country to
3:19 am
change and they want to stay in the country which they want. instead of going to a country that they want to be at? >> well, yeah. i mean, the protesters want to stay in the country but i think it's a very fundamental question for not just france but all of europe, really. can you even extrapolate it to the united states as well. does a country have a right to decide who does and who doesn't live in its own borders? and can france or europe be home for everyone who simply turns up and declares it to be their home? i think there has to be an offensive of control around. this this is scwacketsdly what the protesters and group don't want. they essentially want amnesty for anyone who manages to get into the country. brian: they have a wave to get into the country and thanked by people protesting you what the country is about. as we see 100,000 a month stream into our country. can you blame some of our viewers now from seeing some potential problems while they look at the airport on sunday? >> yeah.
3:20 am
will this problem is going back with this further. look what happened in germany in 2015 where a million people were essentially let into the country almost overnight and the government didn't have any clue who they were. we have obviously seen a variety of security problems following on from that. so, look, people can be -- there is no problem with controlled immigration into a country. i didn't think anyone has a problem with that. this idea mass am mess city for people who come there illegally that the country doesn't have any idea who lives in its own borders and the idea you you will have a stable secure country at the end of that is include diluted e honest. brian: hungry smartest when they saw the illegals coming they put up a wall and they don't have these problems. robin, thanks so much. >> thank you. brian: straight ahead, kamala harris wants to force companies to pay men and women the exact same. >> holding corporations

3:26 am
analyst for the independent women's forum and fisher founder of we are defiant. patrice, i will start with you. do you like the plan. >> i don't. i think senator harris wants to wave a magic wand and see the pay gap disappear. a lookout is driven by choices women make in workplace. around education. how many hours they work. senel majority. there are lots of factors that explain why the pay gap exists. when you actual control for them they actual minimize a few cents. great for a woman to determine what she earns herself and negotiate that with her employer. not have washington determine her pay. ainsley: maliyah what do you like do you like it? >> i'm incredibly excited about this policy and i think the democratic primary voters are going to be excited. equal pay is a pocketbook issue for women and men. whether they are paid equally they bring back to the families men in their families and children in their families. that's why it's going to be
3:27 am
compelling to primary voters. ainsley: women are held back, gender discrimination, does she make valid points there? >> it is already illegal for an employer to pay a man and woman differently just based on gender differences it. is actually legal though to pay a man and woman differently because of other factors. maybe a woman wants more flexibility like me as a new mom, i love the fact that i can have more time off or negotiate maybe a lower salary in exchange for flexible schedule and a lot of women feel that way. men may want to negotiate higher salaries. yes, while it is important that we don't want to see any sort of gender discrimination, i think there is a knee-jerk reaction to the pay gap as to though it is entirely driven by gender discrimination. the bureau of labor statistics hesitates to make that assessment and i follow the bureau of labor statistics and their assessment this is not about gender discrimination. this is about choices that women get to make which is great. ainsley: yeah, maliyah, if you think about this, whatever happened to if the
3:28 am
best man or the best woman is better at the job they should make more money? what if you have a man and woman that do the exact same job but he works harder he is able to travel because she can't because she has kids at home which maybe she shouldn't be penaltyized for that if you think about it, what if a man is harder worker and better than a woman and they have a same exact position? shouldn't he make more. >> more of the evidence shows that's actually not the case. that the wage gap is driven by factors like our paid family medical leave and what's exciting about kamala harris' policy she will take the proceeds you from the fines levied against companies that fail to impose equal pay for workers and redirect that to paid family medical leave policy which we don't have in this country. ainsley: how is a company going to surprise what if she does take 150% of their profits if there is a 15% ga pay gap and they go back in and n. time and take those profits like she said from the year before, somehow a company going to survive that? >> you will see companies
3:29 am
reflexively respond in was harmful to women. most companies many of them are providing paid time off already. and it's fantastic to see that they continue to do so. if you are going to fund a new imittlement program for paid leave and do that through this program, then a lot of employers will say let's get rid of our already generous benefit that we provide to workers. things they can negotiate or want in lieu of this national paid leave plan. i think paid leave is a great discussion to have and lots of smart policies that don't include a new entitlement. new mandates and new taxes on workers and businesses. she is trying to fund another socialist wish list of ideas. i don't think that's the right answer or solution. women wants to be able to negotiate what's best for them and this does not do it. ainsley: should i make more than brian and steve? [laughter] >> you should make the same. you should make the same for equal work. ainsley: thank you so much, ladies. have a great day.

touching down in magnum, oklahoma. steve: mangum, oklahoma. brian: two funnel clouds form at the same time. ainsley: millions bracing for more storms. ish shah is live in oklahoma city and janice is live in our studio. ish, what's going on out there? >> still under tornadoes. >> tornadoes may have touched down dale oklahoma. not far from us. we are in oklahoma city. we are hearing there is even tornadoes sirens going off right now in meeker, oklahoma. that situation is developing there. here in oklahoma city, it is all about the flash flooding. and you can tell by what's going on right behind me. you see this is neighborhood
3:36 am
street that's now basically turned into a river. this was a man made lake that's now creeping up into the neighborhood. and if you zoom in, we can see what looks like a paddle boat that's sort of gotten stuck now, will never be able to be used again. we almost had a dangerous situation here not too long ago we saw a couple of young men out here looked like they were trying to get to that paddle boat, trying to pull it out but that would have been a really bad idea because you see just how fast that water is rushing. very dangerous situation for folks here in oklahoma city if they are just waking up getting into their cars and trying to get around. this is what they are going to see. there is also plenty of power outages here. we're seeing definitely different neighborhoods that are just in complete blackout mode. but, that's not the worst of it. just about two hours west of here a tornadoes actually hit the small town of, as you said, mangum. the twister hit a house and took off the roof of an
3:37 am
apartment complex. out here i have got to tell you they have really dodged a bullet. just flash flooding concerns so far. steve, brian, ainsley? steve: just more flooding across the midwest. all right. thank you very much. meanwhile senior meteorologist janice dean is tracking the potentially deadly storms. another outbreak today, janice, as you look over your shoulder all those red triangles are tornadoes and there are a bunch of them. janice: over 20 reports of tornadoes. we now have 24 hours of tornado watches that we have been looking at over the last day or so. and you can see where we have over 20 reports of tornadoes. now, flooding is going to be a concern. much of oklahoma under a flash flood warning. so, even though you are not getting the tornadoes, the flooding is going to be a huge concern, a lot of these rifersz are almost at record levels. not only in oklahoma but parts of missouri and texas and, of course, all the way down the mississippi river valley. we have a tornado watch. we have a new tornado watch parts of oklahoma and
3:38 am
arkansas until noon local time. so, conditions are going to be favorable for tornadoes. and not only arkansas and oklahoma but texas, all the way up to missouri. it won't be as severe as we saw yesterday but we still could seat potential for large hail, damaging winds, tornadoes and flash flooding. unfortunately the flooding could be the legacy of the system. behind it, cold enough for feet of snow. if we weren't talking about tornadoes, we would be talking about the potential for snow. so a lot to deal with this. and then you know what? we also have our first tropical storm in the atlantic which we will discuss later on today. busy. steve: man, so many weather phenomenon out there. janice: atmosphere is very active. steve: it is indeed. it is spring. ainsley: jillian has headlines for us. jillian: let's begin with this. attorney general william barr issuing a new warning about the russia probe. barr telling the "wall street journal" quote i thought the rules were being

3:47 am
nation. judge: you make it sound like i sat down with the special counsel 30 hours. brian: let's talks about don mcgahn. the president says i'm not going to let him testify for the future presidents as well as him. >> the president actually makes an interesting argument. don mcgahn was not the president's lawyer. he was the lawyer for the presidency. for the institution of the human being that is the head of the united states government and at the same time the head of the executive branch. so, here's the issue. when president trump allowed don mcgahn, the lawyer for the white house, to be interviewed by bob mueller's fbi agents and prosecutors for 30 hours, he waived the executive privilege. what's a privilege? a privilege is the right to keep the truth from being exposed. the theory is it's better that i can communicate directly with my closest aides if i'm the president that they can run to the press or congress every time i say something.
3:48 am
that privilege exist. once you waive that privilege, this is the democrats' argument, the privilege is waived forever. the president says it's it's pretty dr. clear throughout history my legal advisor is an extension of me. steve: sure. >> and everybody that is close to me. people i talk to every day and run in the executive branch is an extension of me. just as i, as the president could not be summoned to testify before congress, neither can they. how is this going to be resolved? like a lot of these things are resolved. probably by a court. the president lost a court battle yesterday. it may be just a temporary loss because they will appeal that to a higher court. what does don mcgahn do? he doesn't work for the president anymore? he is back at private practice in a suburb firm jones day behind the fox building in washington, d.c. can he defy the president and show up? yes, he can but he would have very, very serious legal ethics issues because when your former client says don't tell what you learned while you were representing me, you can't speak that until a judge authorizes you

4:07 am
doug collins lynch told lawmakers that the former fbi director quote mischaracterized her statement she said quote, i have never instructed a witness as to what to say specifically, never have never will. lynch went on to explain in that testimony at the time of the conversation in question, which was in the fall of 2015, she felt it was too early nutz course what you have became an investigation to call it an investigation. because they were simply confirming receipt of a public referral and that a standard doj policy to neither confirm or deny an investigation before confirming a referral, comey says the incident caused him to question her independence at the time and it was an assess you meant which later solidified later by lynch's secret tarmac meeting remember that in by bill clinton in the summer of 2016. at the end of the day we are certainly laying bear a nasty between two exobama officials. guys? steve: indeed. griff, thank you very much. in the transcripts we saw from the house oversight and

4:45 am
good morning. >> good morning. >> pastor burrell tell us what's happening. >> the village decided to triple water waits for churches and nonprofits in our community. steve: why? >> i think they are like other government institutions looking to generate revenue put in unique position of struggling to deal with need and care in our communities. ainsley: jeremy, we know when we tithe to a church and give an offering. we know the church is going to be able to keep that, it's tax exempt. that's the law. so, what does the law say in the state of texas? are they allowed to do this? >> no. you are not allowed to circumvent the tax laws in order to raise more revenue against tax exempt organizations. that's exactly what the city of nag monthly i can't is doing magnolia is doing here. they are putting taxes on the region really onerous standard to make really difficult decisions between
4:46 am
how they are going to care for the community and also the responsibilities with the city as well. that's something that no church across the country should ever have to deal with unfortunately we are seeing too many of this kind of thing happen when we do our work across the country first liberty.org. steve: let's talk about the fees. the cost for 5,000 gallons of water is as you can see $52.50 for institutional users and currently, pastor, you are paying $30 because you're considered commercial. so essentially what they are saying is they are changing the classification from commercial to institutional. >> they have taken all commercial businesses and split them into churches and nonprofits and called them institutional and then regular businesses as commercial and charges the churches extra. ainsley: so what happens next? are you going to win this lawsuit? >> well, we think. so look, the city of magnolia can't start raising
4:47 am
fees on individuals especially when those organizations are tax exempt. it goes around the laws and an attempt to skirt the tax laws in the state of texas. iferlly for the city of magnolia, that is illegal. if there are any other chunks around the country facing a similar situation where they're being taxed three and four times the normal rate for water. they need to call us at first liberty.org. steve: i'm looking at news item here it says that the city administrator paul mendez said quote implementing an institutional rate would allow the city to collect funds from these entities in place of taxes or other fees. jeremy that seems like they're admitting that what they are doing. >> it's pretty obvious, isn't it, steve? >> these churches simply wanted to be treated the same as any other organization or company in the city of magnolia. for the city of magnolia to be that upfront about what they're attempting to do even though these churches study after study after
4:48 am
study provides impacted on community providing necessary and good care to the citizens of that city. they are still trying to burden them with these resources that are forcing them to shut down various care serving ministries within their church and within their community. that is actually going to have a worst impact on their community then if they would just let them do what they do so well in the first place. ainsley: we reached out to the city of imagine no i can't. they said the lawsuit has not been served on the city and as such it would be premature for the city to make any comments at this time. they are saying they haven't been served yet. >> you know, we sent them a letter back in september saying we are going to sue you if that didn't take place. we did file a lawsuit a week ago. it's time for them to start coming back to following the law here in the state of texas. if they won't follow the law we are happy to go to court and have the law applied to them. steve: pastor, this would be your opportunities to go in front of the congregation on sunday to say ladies and gentlemen, we need to raise more money as you pass the hat. they are john mark karring up your water rate. >> well, the church is very
4:49 am
generous. and they have given generously to care for the needs of our community. we have a generous congregation. we are not the only church that is impacted. we have care ministries that care for people most vulnerable in our communities, providing resources like food and power assistance, utility assistance and those organizations that pay more for water cannot purchase food to help the most needy in our community. it's not a generosity issue as much as it is treat us like commercial businesses and don't specifically target churches as nonprofits to generate revenue for the local government. ainsley: pastor, jeremy, thanks for being on with us. >> thank you. ainsley: he is a football legend guaranteed a super bowl win 50 years ago and he nailed it. steve: what if he didn't? joe namath joining us live awesome message for america about making mistakes ♪ the world is going to know

5:01 am
claim to be a working class guy and had a reservoir of support in the past but not when he ran for president is joe biden. even if you look at three states, the trump camp confirms this, the rust belt states of wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, right now joe biden has a lead over the president. the president, no coincidence was there as night in pennsylvania. steve: officially the reason was because today in that particular congressional district there is a special election to fill a vacancy in congressional seat. the president stood up and endorsed state representative fred keller. but really the reason is, it's pennsylvania because donald trump, then the candidate, won pennsylvania by 44,000. joe biden was born in scranton, lived there until he was 10 but the president really wants to keep pennsylvania in the win column. ainsley: this is what the president said last night, a
5:02 am
little bit of the hour-long speech. >> biden deserted you. he is not from pennsylvania. i guess he was born here, he left you folks, he left you for another state. he talks about i know scranton. i know the places better. he left you for another state and he didn't take care of you, because he didn't take care of your jobs. the unemployment rate in pennsylvania has just reached and all-time historic low. in pennsylvania we have added 155,000 new jobs including 20,000 new construction jobs. nobody thought that was possible. when you have the best economy probably that we've ever had, i don't how the hell do you lose this election, right? [cheering] do we want to keep america great or make america great again? make america great again. [cheering] so now we go, ready, keep

america great? [cheering] i like it, because we'll sell many, many more hats that way. we'll keep the hat the same color, right? steve: all those people became his focus group as he tries to figure out whether or not to change the campaign slogan. ainsley: he is in his element. he loves the live audiences. that is the 58th rally since he became president. he has done a lot for manufacture manufacturing jobs. even paul krugman said that would be impossible because so many companies moved to china and brought steel industry back and car industry. steve: he has a magic wand. brian: the growth is getting closer to four than to two. the other thing, it is pretty clear to the president right now he thinks joe biden is his competition. however if you look in iowa, bernie sanders is in a flat-footed tie with joe biden, followed by mayor pete, and
5:04 am
elizabeth warren. both are 10, 11 point back. the president is doing a great job commentating, minimizing with sleepy joe and crazy bernie. alfred e. neuman with mayor pete, trying to minimize who they are as he is doing it. i never seen this, i said this a lot with president trump, never see candidate do that. comment so succinctly on his would-be opponents. steve: he is trying to minimize them. he is trying to do sleepy joe. at the same time joe biden is very effective branding himself. calling himself blue-collar joe. for the most part when the president was talking about historic unemployment rate across the country, when you look at the keystone state of pennsylvania, when president took office in january of 2017 it was at 5.2%. fast forward to the latest reporting period, it's 3.8 which is down 1.4%, which is substantial. ainsley: yeah, if you look at
5:05 am
the election back in 2016 versus the election in 2012, when barack obama was running against mitt romney, mitt romney lost that state. he got 47%. barack obama got 52%. then in 16 people were saying donald trump is not going to win, republicans will not win the state. he did, he barely beat hillary clinton in the state. brian: what we found, we talked to the trump team, talked to brad on the live show, brad parscale, there was a sense democrats left the president when the investigation started. there was suggestion this was illegitimate win some democrats leaning president's direction, reagan democrats donald trump got. as soon as mueller report came out, even though there were controversy surrounding obstruction, the democrats coming back in those key states. that gives them for optimism. steve: everybody said wait until the mueller report.
5:06 am
the mueller report comes out. looking forward, the president feels when you combine that the findings of the mueller report with the economy, you can't lose. attempt the democrats feel like there is peril pushing the impeachment thing, nancy pelosi had a meeting last night with jerry nadler, figure out what they will do with don mcgahn who will not testify today. the last thing they want is to go ahead and proceed with impeachment because they know that in the u.s. senate, it would not pass. that would be bad for them. brian: not just nadler as you know. it is a lot of the rank-and-file. management, speaker and others saying don't do impeachment. they say, no, we have to do impeachment. the house is divided on the democratic time big time. ainsley: that is interesting. folks in the middle, that aren't republicans, that aren't democrats, how they feel about impeachment, congress is stalling on the border and late-term abortion bills?

5:08 am
amash was caught by a scrum of reporters yesterday, asked about it, leaving the capitol. watch. >> [inaudible]. >> nothing surprises me, no. >> what about president trump calling you a loser? >> okay. reporter: okay he says. he doubled down on the appropriateness of starting the impeachment process. he said that is up to speaker pelosi to determine when. state representative michigan, jim loer announce ad bid for third congressional district, positioning himself to run against amash in the republican primary. he had this to say about amash's impeachment argument. >> it is completely ridiculous. at this point justin amash has more in common with rashida tlaib than the average republican primary voter in the district. reporter: one more wrinkle, libertarians are getting in the mix actively recruiting amash as potential 2020 third party candidate. amash so far dismissed any talk
5:09 am
of that at the capitol. we'll see where this all goes. steve: thank you, griff. he is a member of the house freedom caucus. they had a meeting to discuss his comments. jim jordan said every single member disagrees. they did not say whether or not they will try to out of him from the freedom party. ainsley: kevin america cart think says it is disturbing. brian: robert de niro burst on the scene with "meet the fockers." as you know curses a lot, he doesn't like president trump. so inappropriate at almost every award show he takes any emphasis, movie, event or person just says something vulgar about the president. i don't quite know why he feels though he has to do that. steve: he doesn't like him. brian: maybe because people didn't write out the word for him. he was asked yesterday to salute al pacino who is not the sail person. ainsley: he was at the american icon award speech, there were five people that were honored.

he stood up to give his speech honoring his good pal al pacino. while it was winding down, he had to go there. listen. >> completely get away without [bleep] trump moment. to lead america is not worthy of any [inaudible] brian: there were boos. steve: there were bosses. not quite as fiery as his appearance at the tonys, there was a little booing. we asked you what you thought about it. debra emailed this nothing he says is surprising. he at the top of the list actors we don't pay to see few to their politics. ainsley: not seeing his movies anymore. daisy said actors like de niro are good playing pretend by dressing up, reading other people's lines but should stick

5:12 am
me, tweeting to president trump, quote, never threaten an iranian. that warning comes after the president told iran, war will mean the official end of the country. former cia station chief dan hoffman believes the trump administration is taking the right approach preparing for the worst. >> sent the uss abraham lincoln into the gulf and b-52 bombers into the middle east. we've had the department of defense planning for 120,000 troops needed. that is a clear a statement of deterrence as you can find. jillian: iran reportedly claimed to have quadrupled its production of enriched uranium. attorney general william barr issuing a new warning about the russia probe. barr telling "the wall street journal" i felt the rules were being changed to hurt trump and i thought it was damaging for the presidency over the long haul. just last week barr told bill hemmer in an exclusive interview that americans should be cautious.

well, then i did some homework and i found out it's not any of that. it's not another way for the bank to get your house. and it's also not too good to be true. a reverse mortgage loan is a simple idea, really. you turn your home's equity into cash, and you pay it back when you leave the house. most people use the money to pay off their existing mortgage, or pay some bills, cover medical costs even update their home. and, just as importantly, you still own your home, and you make no monthly mortgage payments. it's a loan designed just for older americans and it's helped hundreds of thousands to live a more stable, secure retirement and stay in the home they love. aag is the leader in reverse mortgages. call us today for your free information kit. it will answer all your questions and help you decide if a reverse mortgage is right for you, and how to qualify.

foes to the left he goes with it. he changed his position on abortion. whether to redefine abortion, immigration issues, rule of law, any number of issues he changes. steve: where is the democratic party on sanctuary cities these days? >> there is a big difference between where the base of the democratic party is, where the average democrat might be or where the average person in the country might be. the base is fairly radical on this issue, seeking really not finding value in federal border enforcement or laws that are intended make it clear who is a citizen, who is not, who is in the country legally and who is not. the challenge for biden, he has to win a primary with a base fairly radical. if he wins that, he has not to be extreme to lose out hope of winning a general election. steve: exactly. kamala harris wants to close the gender pay gap for possibly fining companies for not complying. what do you think of that? >> she said when she made her
5:20 am
announcement women make 80 cents to every man's dollar. this statement is failure to understand how labor economics work. it is true women on average make less money than men, they do so for many different reasons, including types of jobs they choose to have, how much risk is involved, how much time they take off work, when you control for all of those factors the pay gap between the sexes decreases to almost nothing. the idea that you would want a large federal government program to tell companies what to do here, when there is not actually a problem is difficult. steve: well, she is trying to get some attention out on the campaign trail and some publicity, we got, she got all of us talking about this today. molly, thank you very much for joining us live. >> thanks. steve: coming up on this tuesday. it was our favorite story yesterday. robert smith paying off loans at morehouse college. that triggered outrage at oprah

steve: we are back with a fox news alert. moments ago a tornado touched down near the tulsa international airport. brian: you can see damage caused overnight by the storm. about an hour away in pegs, oklahoma. ainsley: senior meteorologist janice dean is here live. she is tracking it all. what are you expecting today? janice: we're getting volatile weather inside the oklahoma area. we're getting several weather-warned storms. we have a tornado watch in
5:25 am
effect for parts of noon in parts of oklahoma and iowa. doppler radar indicating rotation north and east of clairemore. circle more tornado-warned storms. you see heavy rainfall. some could be rain wrapped, you don't see them coming. we're getting reports of flash flooding in and around the oklahoma city area. let's look at live pictures right now. so a lot of areas getting four to six inches of rainfall in very short period of time. so in and around the oklahoma city area we have flash flooding occurring not only here, but north of this area, south of this area. unfortunately it is going to be hard to rescue crews to get to areas that are damaged because we have extreme flooding this is multifaceted storm. not only severe weather but flooding potential. we'll track it throughout the morning and this afternoon. we may not see the damage for
5:26 am
days to come because it will be so hard to get there. a volatile situation in oklahoma. steve: with all the rain, it is so flat-out there simply no base to go. ainsley: mem mother-in-law day weaken everyone has plans. that will change innings. brian: as abortion bans go across the u.s., south carolina may follow suit. steve: governor henry mcmaster is planning to sign the "heartbeat bill" if it gets to his desk. ainsley: it is currently awaiting debate in the state senate. which would abortions half a heartbeat is detected after six weeks. he joins us now. good morning governor. >> good morning. >> so what happens next. if it does pass the senate, gets to your desk, what are we talking about as far as time frame is concerned? >> i will sign it immediately. it will go into effect. a number of other state already
5:27 am
done it. i think about five. the the momentum around the country is protecting life and south carolina is a pro-life state. ainsley: when will the senate take a vote? >> it won't be this year. it will be next year. it passed the house. it hasn't been debated in the senate. we expect it to be debated next year, which is the second year of the two-year term. we expect it to pass. brian: governor, how would your bill be different from what we see in al gam? >> i think our bill, of course it hasn't pass senate yet, but our bill allows for exceptions to the rule but other than that it is similar. the main point once that heartbeat is detected, abortion is illegal. there are necessary exceptions. steve: one of the things, governor, critics of the bill have a problem with, it establishes personhood they have
5:28 am
described it. you're saying that after six weeks that's a person, right? >> that's right. well, i mean, you got to draw the line somewhere. there are a lot of people that say you are a person at conception. this says once that heartbeat is detected you cannot take that life. we passed a law two years ago in south carolina as i think 21 other states have, once that baby can feel pain which is about 20 weeks or something like that, abortion is illegal, unless there are exceptions. so, i think the momentum in the country is swinging towards life. south carolina is very pro-life state. life is precious. i think we need to focus on the life of that child and that is what this bill does. ainsley: why have we seen an uptick in the pro-life movements around the country? >> that's a good question.
5:29 am
the more people think about it, a lot of people don't think about it deeply, but when you, when you have to make a decision, when you have to really think about it, then, i think the point that life must begin somewhere and life is precious, there is no doubt about it. we have people all over the country that can't have children. they would love to adopt children. so there is a freight opportunities there. but life is precious and we must protect it. brian: thanks, governor. we'll see where this goes. ainsley: thank you, governor. good to see you. >> nice to see you. brian: coming up straight ahead in the final half hour, he just dethroned howard stern from the best-seller list at least on amazon. want to know why? stick around. mark levine tells about the seacrest of his success with his brand new book. sometimes, the pressures of today's world can make it tough

president of the united states we're going after his tax returns, eight years of his financial information with outrageous decision by an obama judge. we have the phonies in congress, these committee chairman who come out of these blue cities who have been trying to take down this president from day one. they sit there and talk about the constitution which they hate. joe biden gets no scrutiny. president of the united states, the scrutiny is outrageous. joe biden will run. nobody will interfere with his election. donald trump ran for president of the united states. the obama administration interfeared with his election. the hillary clinton campaign paid for a dossier to interfere with his election with the assistance of the dnc. my focus is, that's politics but this is the problem. the press in this country. the greatest threat we have today to freedom of the press is the mass media. there is a difference between freedom of the press, which was given to we the people, not cnn, not msnbc and comcast and time warner. it belongs to we the people like

5:38 am
media in this country is, this isn't the academy awards. this isn't hollywood. this isn't some game show. i don't know how this is going to end but they must be defeated. that is what needs to happen. brian: mayor pete has to go after senator joe at some point, before you get to the finals you have to get through the semifinals. at one point they will be cutting up joe. >> joe will be cutting up himself. his past is predictable because joe steps on his tongue about every other speech. let's see, joe is just not that bright. i will be perfectly honest with you. he tried to lie his way through law school. these are the facts i'm just telling you. as far as i'm concerned, you're finding leftists, fighting leftists. that is great. i have no problem with that but i'm worried about the country and the democrat party is not coming up with serious people. bernie sanders is an old red. he is trying to redress himself as democratic socialist, whatever that is. joe biden is washed up liberal

democrat who really has very little in terms of his accomplishment in the last half century. we have conga line of newbies coming in we've never heard he have before and we're supposed to take the democrat party seriously. i don't take the democrat party seriously except if they win, then i'm worried. steve: look at latest "qunnipiac poll," emerson college polls in the state of pennsylvania, joe biden even though he has 23 other people with him is beating the president by 10 point and president only has himself on republican side. one of the things that may go into the equation about how people feel in a year is after we hear from the inspector general regarding you know, they are looking into how the russia investigation started. was there improper activity at the doj, and the fbi? back in 2017 james comey who formerly had been the head of the fbi was talking in front of
5:40 am
the senate testifying. we broadcast it here on fox news, about why he decided to have that press conference and he revealed something that has us all talking today. he is talking about, was it a matter or was an investigation, and that came from the ag. listen to this. >> the attorney general had directed me not to call it an investigation but instead to call it a matter, which confused me and concerned me but that was one of the bricks in the load that led me to conclude i have to step away from the department if we're to close this case credibly. steve: it has been revealed in the last 48 hours loretta lynch had a conversation with james comey and she recapped it to the house oversight committee, ainsley, what did she tell them? ainsley: she told them i didn't direct everyone to use specific phraseology. what i said, we have received a referral, we're working on the
5:41 am
matter, working on the issue or we have all the resources we need to handle did the matter, handle the issue. i was quite surprised that was his characterization of it because that was not how it was conveyed to him. certainly not how it was intended. someone lying here or did she just say, she was saying it is not an investigation yet, it's a matter. he took it the wrong way? >> you know, one word, comey is a psycho, let's just admit it. he has been caught in a number of lies. people that he worked with say he is liar. he is all over tv lying. he is all over tv trying to settle scores with the president and other people. he is a very peculiar man. i have never seen a former fbi director conduct himself this way. never seen fbi director conduct himself the way he did when he was at the fbi. the entire senior level of fbi is blown out. as a former chief of staff to a attorney general, i have never seen anything like this, ever.
5:42 am
that is number one. number two, where the hell was loretta lynch when her fbi, the fbi is an institution with a department of justice was trying to sabotage the trump campaign? was putting spies in the trump campaign. when the fbi was using a phony dossier to get a phony warrant against somebody in the trump campaign? where was loretta lynch? look how they treat bill barr. look how they tried to destroy bill barr, playing by the book, sticking with the constitution. who is standing up to the mob in the democrat house of representatives. they try to destroy his character. loretta lynch nobody knows where she is. nobody knows what she is doing. goes home with her life, no problem at all. this is part of the problem. get back to what i'm talking about, writing about. that needs to be addressed. jim comey is getting all airtime. jim comey doesn't get tough questions. i will give you a example. we asked elizabeth warren to come on life, liberty levine.
5:43 am
she won't. we asked bernie sanders sanders to come on "life, liberty and levin." sheave won't. we asked kamala harris to come on life, liberty, levine, they won't. mark is too toxic. no. i know what they are. i know what their ideology is. they don't want a one-hour sit down to go over it. think go in front of clapping seals to push their agenda. they won't do it. that is part of the problem with the press today. brian: which will be perfect for the next block. we'll talk specifically about your book, "unfreedom of the press." you back in the history of where we were, some of faux pass and where we're at today. mark levin live, unless you tape this without us. back in a moment. claritin-d. while the leading allergy spray is indicated for 6 symptoms...

5:49 am
distributed throughout the colonies. would be read at pubs out loud, the public square, home during family dinners and so forth. word would get out. soon after that we had what was called the party press. jefferson, adams, the media would start to align behind a particular candidate, party or cause. they were very transparent about it. who they support. some were on the payroll of the particular political party. then moving quickly to the beginning of the last century we had the progressive movement. steve: right. >> of course they elected people like woodrow wilson. but the progressive movement devoured much of this society, our constitution and our economic system in many respects but it devouredded the media. steve: 30 second. >> they said enough of this stuff. now we'll be objective. but today, the media is out of the closet. democrat party, even though they deny it, progressive ideology, anti-trump. that is what it has become. brian: right. you talk about that.
